Connecting a printer
To connect a USB printer:

Plug the USB connector into one of the USB ports on
your computer

Plug the printer's power cable into a live AC outlet.
See your printer documentation for additional configuration

Setting up a printer
If you started your computer with a printer connected and
turned on, it may have been detected automatically (Plug and
Play). If this is not the case, then you must install the printer
driver for the model of printer that is connected to your
computer. You install the printer driver either by following
the instructions indicated in your printer manual or by using
the operating system Add Printer Wizard.
If you plan to set up a printer later, click Cancel.
Using the Add Printer Wizard
To set up a printer with the Add Printer Wizard:
1
Click Start, Control Panel, and then Printers and
Other Hardware.
2
Select Printers and Faxes.
The Printers and Faxes window appears.
